Roxie Remley, Brinson's Race and Pit Processing

I did not work on the studio this weekend. I went to Georgia Southern University to celebrate Roxie Ramley's 90th bithday and enjoy her exhibit "Edge of 90." It was a beautiful exhibit and celebration, Roxie is very sharp at 90 years old; proof that doing what you love is good for you.
While I was in the area I spent the weekend at Brinson's Race enjoying the peace of the farm, reading, hiking, taking pictures and cleaning out the pit for a pit firing that I'm planing to host there in the winter. Check back later for updates on the date and other details.

The ancients believed inanimate objects such as pottery had a soul. I
can understand why they thought this. It comes from the ground, where
life sustaining plants grow, and just like people; with direction it
can be molded. Also like people and plants it has mind of its own and
sometimes rejects the direction in which we lead it. Often the
resulting pot is better than what we intended at the start. This is why
I love working in clay and why my style is not highly refined or rigid.
I gently guide the clay and the glaze but rejoice in letting them
become what they will by the other forces they encounter. Just like
planting a seed in the garden, even when I have specific plans for it
I’m never exactly certain what it will be until it is fully developed.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
